So I guess Cosmos is going to make an appearance then? Or Astrotrain? Not that Im greatly saddened to hear the Ark won't make it into the movie, kind of low down on the list of complaints from Megatron looks like WTF guyver and Starscream is Waspinator + Machine guns, although his reasoning is far off. Okay so....how do you propose they get from Cybertron to Earth, wait for a taxi?

Remember one of the G1 episodes after "The ultimate doom" where Starscream flyes from Earth to Cybertron twice? XD Come On! The cartoon never had sense, why should the movie?
Besides maybe the bots fell from pods from a cybertronian ship over the years. Pretty much like the Bw concept: a ship sending pods to different planets. If they are searching for the Energon Cube it has sense.

Yeah, that is absurd reasoning. There are numerous reasons why they would need to have a ship. Like not having the energon individually to make it such a long distance, speed, or like others said, not all of them had the capability of flying.

My guess is that Bay and Company couldn't wrap their heads around the idea that something as large as a ship that can carry beings of that size would be undetected for so many years.

Simple. I can't say anything bad about the movie if I haven't watch it. changes can be good, bad or incredible awful. I'll say what i think about the movie in 2007. ^^

This movie may be great, maybe not. But at what point is there so much change that this movie is barely recognizable as it's Title name? Updating a property for movies is fine. Changing every single thing about the property for what looks like no apparent reasons in some cases is a nother thing entirely. Cough...Catwoman....Cough.....Doom.....Cough.....now compare that to Batman Begins or The Lord of the rings which had many changes yet kept the basic feel of the source material.
